Digital Sensor Card USB – Potentiometer Input
The DSCUSB-PT is a compact, high-precision potentiometer
input module; converting a resistance based input
(potentiometer) to a digital output. Can be used with
resistance based sensors to indicate position, rotation and
angle. Aimed at applications which require high accuracy.
Simply by plugging the device into a PC, data can be extracted
from the potentiometer input to the DSCUSB-PT for a wide
range of applications. This is achieved using the DSCUSB
Toolkit software, which is a simple configuration tool designed
specifically for configuring DSCUSB modules. It allows
configuration, calibration, logging and parameter
management of the modules.
The output is factory calibrated to give an output from
between 0% and 100% but this can be scaled by the system
integrator or the user to give engineering units as well.
This free-standing module is fitted with 9-way ‘D’ type socket
for potentiometer and optional temperature sensor
connections. A micro USB socket accepts a USB lead with type
’A’ connector at the PC end.

CalibratiON
linearised calibration in your chosen engineering units can be achieved by applying known inputs or entering values from a sensor calibration certificate. you can also calibrate the shunt Calibration so an installed system will always give an output of 100 when shunt Calibration is activated. this allows for an extremely fast check that your system is still operating correctly without having to disconnect the input sensor.
rEal tiME trEND CHart
feature a real-time scrolling graphic display. the chart can hold up to 10,000 points and you can zoom and pan through the data. the chart is auto scaling and is ideal for looking at input signals to allow tuning the filters.
log data to a Csv file at intervals of between 10 milliseconds and 32 seconds. this allows data to be logged at up to 100hz and the resulting Csv files can then be analysed in microsoft Excel or similar application.the software will warn you if your specified logging rate is faster than the rate at which the module has been configured to generate results.
lOGGiNG
Data ratES aND FiltEr
here you can configure how fast the module generates new results. the faster the new results are generated the lower the effective noise free resolution will become. the software will show you the expected noise free resolution achievable with your settings.you can also set up dynamic filtering. you can set the amount of filtering to apply and also a threshold for an input change that can bypass the filter. this gives very fast reaction to step changes on the input yet still delivers filtered results. use the real-time trend Chart to see the results of your filter settings.
